Whigham beats Central in close boys game despite press flare
Whigham Indians roll to a 61 59 win as Aaron Todd’s Whigham JV and varsity players otherwise stood out. Terry Parker led with 24 points and Whigham’s full court press in the last six minutes sealed the victory on the Central gym floor. Central coach Wesley Blair praised the defense but noted the late-press exposure. Wayne Murphy scored seven of 15 from outside and Judy Hatlman and Virginia Hatlman led Central girls with steady scoring despite foul-line struggles.
